Development of the Challenger began in late 1966 with design work led by Bill Brownlie. Its enduring success stems not only from its handsome styling, but also from its ability to accommodate the entire Chrysler engine range by virtue of the front sub-frame it borrowed from the B-bodied Charger/Coronet. At the rear, adoption of the Charger/Coronet rear suspension provided a wide rear track capable of accommodating the wide tires available by 1970. The rest is automotive history..
